Abstract:Extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure observed during past earthquakes resulting from the liquefaction of shallow saturated soil deposits underneath structures has demonstrated the necessity for further research in the area of liquefaction-induced ground movement effects. This study explores utilizing helical piles as a countermeasure to reduce liquefaction-induced foundation settlement and investigates their seismic performance in liquefiable grounds. Two large-scale shake table test series, one wi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
